2 Retouching involves other techniques that can polish the photo further. For example, by removing blemishes, making people slightly slimmer, smoothening skin texture, removing distracting elements from the background and adding something to the image.
Image Reproduction
- Because of photochromic anomalies caused by combining certain dyes and materials, specifically in man-made fibres, it is often impossible to record the exact colour of materials and dyes on camera as seen by the human eye. However, when processing images, the photographers endeavour to achieve an appealing overall colour balance.
- It should be understood that a few colours may not be consistent throughout a set of photographs because of changes in the lighting conditions. It should also be understood that all photographic printing is carried out within the technical limitations of the procedure, and colour may not be uniform over the entire range within the subject. Plus, the colour balance of prints made in varying sizes or at different times may also be subject to change.
- Because of the limitations of computer monitors, it is understood that photos may look different as per the specification of the monitor and that prints may not match the photos rendered on a given computer monitor.
